🏙️ Real Estate Roundup
By Barry Lank
Here's the latest Eastside real estate news.
Los Feliz
Kumail Nanjiani (who plays Dinesh in HBO's “Silicon Valley”) and his wife Emily Gordon are looking to rent their Spanish-style mini-compound for $9,500 a month, Dirt reported. The three-bedroom on Rosalia Road has been given a complete makeover. Nanjiani and Gordon are reportedly house-hunting in Silver Lake.
A four-story office building is planned for 2525-2535 N. Hyperion Ave., near Gelson's and Trader Joe's. The two lots currently hold a pair of connected commercial buildings that date back to the 1950s. The applicant is Redcar Properties, which still lists the current structures for lease as retail or creative office space and has a heavy portfolio of other Eastside properties.
Silver Lake
A Mid-Century Modern originally designed for artist Bernice "Burr" Singer has sold for $3.68 million - the highest priced Eastside home sale in the last week, according to Redfin. It sold for$685,000 above the asking price. The three-bedroom on Panorama Terrace was designed in 1953 by James H. Garrot and Gregory Ain.
Framing is complete on a three-story "mass timber" apartment structure called SuperBungalows, Urbanize reported. The nine-unit building at 3520 W. Marathon Street will have a rooftop deck and atrium gardens. Mass timber buildings use large panels, posts and other structural elements made out of laminated and compressed wood. Proponents say the method is more sustainable than traditional materials and reduces the time and cost of construction.
Plans are moving along to replace a 100-year-old single-family home at 966 N. Sanborn Ave. with a three-story duplex at the front of the lot, a three-story single-family home in the rear, and an ADU.

Church welcomes new pastor - two years after she arrived
By Barry Lank
Mt. Hollywood United Church of Christ just welcomed its new pastor - though she's already worked there for two years.
Rev. Ashley Hiestand was ordained just as COVID shut down in-person gatherings. Her installation was not celebrated officially until last Sunday.
Hiestand, 38, began her ministry by helping set up online services. The New Hampshire Avenue church now offers services in person and online three Sundays each month, with Zoom-only services for the last Sunday. The virtual services have attracted participants from as far away as Bermuda.
She oversaw prayer vigils for Black Lives Matter, and the addition of a free community fridge in the church parking lot.
Originally from Ohio, Rev. Hiestand attended the Pacific School of Religion and also studied transitional services for people with autism at Occidental College. She also ran with the Occidental Women's 200 Yard Medley Relay team in 2005, helping score one of the top 10 best times in the school’s history.
